EcoLana means "organic wool". True to its namesake, this yarn is 100% pure, certified Organic Wool Yarn. No synthetic materials. No residue from toxic chemicals used in most commercial yarn processing. No unsafe dye ingredients. Just nature's most perfect fiber! Ideal for babies, for those with skin sensitivities, and for anyone wanting to make environmentally conscious purchases. Before beginning we recommend winding your skein into a ball so that it remains tangle free. USA HAND DYED: We chose a sophisticated, elegant color palette for our certified Organic Wool Yarn. Each skein is individually kettle-dyed for those complex, textured tones that can only be achieved through careful hand dyeing. Our yarns are colorfast and are made using the safest dyes available. KIND TO SKIN AND PLANET: Most merino yarn is made from commercially produced wool that is passed through harsh chemical baths during processing. Some of these chemicals remain on the fiber, causing skin irritations. Our certified Organic Wool Yarn is processed safely without the use of toxic chemicals. Perfect for babies, for those with skin sensitivities, and for anyone wanting to make environmentally conscious purchases. You will also be happy to hear that we only source wool from non-mulesed flocks so our products are cruelty free.
